Life Crafted with Marsha

Hey friends!  It's Marsha, and I'm here sharing a new layout in my Life Crafted Album.  For my project today, I used the April Life Crafted Night & Day Kit, This is Life AM/PM Stamp, Traveler's Notebook Stamp, and some digital papers and elements.

Here's a look at my layout:

For my spread today, I am documenting a photo of a magical sunset I captured a few weeks ago.  I thought this picture would work perfectly with the Night & Day Kit.

To begin the layout, I printed one of the TN Digital Papers.  I distressed the edges slightly for added interest and texture.  I layered a piece of gray patterned paper behind my photo and layered two arrow ephemera pieces above it.  Then, I stapled another ephemera piece to the top edge of the photo and layered a digital element from the Printable Cutapart Elements behind it.  Using the AM/PM Stamp and the TN Stamp, I added a bit of stamping with light gray and black ink.

I stamped the word "Evening" from the AM/PM Stamp onto my photo using white ink.  I love how it pops against the dark area of the picture!  To complete the title, I added a gold puffy word sticker.  Next, I typed my journaling onto a piece of vellum and stapled it to the page below the title.

For the right side of the layout, I printed a paper from the Night & Day TN Basics Digital Papers.  I trimmed a journaling card from the kit into a tag shape and layered it over a patterned paper and another journaling card.  I love adding tags to my LC layouts, and it is so easy to create your own using the beautiful LC kit journaling cards!  To embellish the page, I added some chipboard stickers, puffy gold stickers, a label, and stamping using the LC Kit Stamp and the TN Stamp.

Thank you for stopping by today!  We can't wait to see what you create with this month's kits, stamps, and digitals!

LIFE CRAFTED with Angela

Hello Citrus Twist fans!

It's Angela here, sharing a new spread of my Life Crafted Album. I used Life Crafted Night & Day April 2020 kit and what I like of it is the wide range of colors I can choose from.  Today, I went for a very light and delicate combo, with lots of neutral colors.

In the photos, I am documenting my quarantine life. The slow life we are all experimenting has its pluses. Away from my crazy working shifts, I have finally the chance to cuddle up my family with healthy homemade food. Here is a typical Italian breakfast, with cappuccino and doughnut. If you'd like, I can give you the recipe :-)

On the first page, I placed just one small photo because I wanted the beautiful pattern of the paper to show up. Beside, I positioned a little cluster of embellishments, a die cut, a chipboard and a wood veneer. Under the photo, I stamped a phrase that got me and so true to me: 'In the still of the morning'. I made it combining two stamps from This is Life "AM/PM" stamp. 

While in the first page I didn't use any plastic sleeve, in the second page I used Citrus Twist Page Protector #2, that has two 3x4 inch pockets. This, to give more appeal to the spread.

I printed two small photos and used the journaling card from Night & Day kit to mat them. 

Finally, I added a few pieces to embellish the photos and voilà, the page was done!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you liked the spread and feel inspired to create with the beautiful Citrus Twist Kits kits. 

Love, NG
